What I really like about Weinberg is his deep psychological understanding, and what comes through as a deep love of other people. Acknowledging emotions in the field of software engineering is something that resonates deeply with me.

Why? In Myers-Briggs, I’m an INFP. In plain English, I’m better at feeling than thinking. Everything in life, including software engineering, necessarily requires both, but the world of software seems to favor rational thinking and expel emotions from the realm of software entirely. This is something I’d like to change, along with, it seems, Jerry Weinberg, David Heinemeier Hansson, and Kathy Sierra.
